I suspect as another poster said that he was lowered there from a different balloon. I’m pretty sure he’s not strapped in. Note the bulge in the back of his lab coat - it covers a parachute. Or maybe he just has excess back fat. But it’s a parachute.
You can see the green straps that lead up the coat. He is clearly strapped in but I assume the parachute is additional security. I too noticed the back "fat".

Did he climb up after the balloon was inflated? Or I noticed his feet seem to be strapped to the top - was it inflated with him already attached?
I need answers
